Before the pacific war, the IJN wanted to raise the training efficiency of bombers for the outbreak of war. The Yakaze was converted to a target ship for bombing training, however, her armour was thin because she was converted from a destroyer. Yakaze was able to sustain only the impact of 1 kilogram bombs. The IJN wanted the target ship top join the Combined Fleet to use it in the southern front. Hakachi was built with such a background, she was able to sustain 10 kilogram bombs dropped from {{convert|4000|m|ft|abbr=on}} meters altitude. The IJN built Ōhama-class as a next generation target ships, because Hakachi was the only one available for training new pilots of bomber planes.
